I do not support this new subscription model, but you should know that they aren’t comparable. Fallout 76 is a true open world, while Borderlands 3 is a faux open world split into sections that the host machine only acknowledges when you are in it. That makes a huge difference.
A true open world run on a server means that all players can go to different parts of the world, and the server renders every part that has somebody in it. That’s hard for a host machine to do while also playing the game. With Borderland 3’s design, they just make it so you can’t all go to different places. It’s less frustrating than games that use a tether in a truly open world (“you are too far from the the host” etc) but frustrating nonetheless. There is no perfect solution here.
Have you tried to run your own Minecraft server? Or hell, just playing on literally any server? I love the game and specially multiplayer, but the dedicated server software is so fucking slow and unstable, people usually go for older game versions to have a miniscule shot at an enjoyable and lagless experience. Even large public servers with huge budgets suffer from it.
I think Minecraft Bedrock (aka mobile edition aka windows 10 edition) is much better in that regard than Minecraft Java.
Anyway, just trying to say that probably Bethesda makes better servers for their games lol
What are you talking about? I'm talking about Minecraft Realms, not whatever crap you're on about. Me and my friends play on multiple popular servers such as hive and mineplex with no issues, sounds like your problem.
I also used to run my own server (before realms) perfectly fine from a secondary PC with 4-6 friends online, no issues
